The Goon – First Footage online!

The story is about the adventures of the Goon, a muscle-bound brawler who claims to be the primary enforcer for the feared mobster Labrazio. The Goon (and his sidekick Franky) often get tied up in other machinations, often in relation to the evil zombie gangs under the command of the Nameless Zombie Priest.

The series has a distinctly paranormal slant, with the average story concerning ghosts, ghouls, skunk-apes with an unnatural hunger for pie, extra-dimensional aliens, and mad scientists. – Wikipedia

Here’s my confession and it’s a bad one. I’ve never read a single issue of The Goon despite the fact it looks like the kind of comic that would be right up my street. I have no idea why I’ve never read the comic but after watching this little bit of footage from the upcoming animated feature that fact will soon change. With voices by Paul Giamatti and Clancy ‘Lex Luthor’ Brown as Goon this looks and sounds fantastic

For those of you lucky folks heading to the San Diego Comic-Con there’s Goon panel on Friday where I’m guessing a lot more footage will be shown.
